Wow! would you happen to have a species list? This place sounds very interesting - also wondering whether it is safely accessible by foot from Kegon Falls/the Eastern side of Lake Chuzenji?
 
@amur leopard
It is a 20-minute walk from Kegon Falls
If you take the bus, it takes 7 minutes from Kegon Falls.
